Right so it’s being described as Baroque because whoever is writing it is from the 18th century and can’t figure out how to upload the story

OMG - has it been produced by Jacob Rees-Mogg?

eandz13 · 16/09/2023 15:41

What's the story on?

Finlesswonder · 16/09/2023 15:41

I just checked his rumble and this guy posts a HELL of a lot of content

BeverleyMacker · 16/09/2023 15:42

I think dispatches will be pulled :(

loving your gifs/memes on the other threads @Mimmy352

All you get on the Times is some shit about Sunak and Shirley Ballas "I like sexy, I'm in my sixties. I'm not dead". Lovely.

Dwight Shroot! Better not be him.....

HelloCanYouHearMe · 16/09/2023 15:52

Not read all the threads on this, but i'm reading on Twitter that it's a Bake off host and an ex BGT host and not Brand?

Why?!

GoodOldEmmaNess · 16/09/2023 15:55

I can remember when being "mentioned in dispatches" was a good thing. My grandfather was. He got a little certificate.

OneFrenchEgg · 16/09/2023 15:56

Toby Young tweeted about the times and it being due to drop today

thatsnotmywean · 16/09/2023 15:57

The OP should change the thread title, cause what's a bigger news story this year than the Coronation?

Fucking Russell Brand? Yeah right.

lemmein · 16/09/2023 15:58

I didn't keep up with the last thread but RB isn't trending at all now - not even under news or entertainment Hmm

Fucking Russell Brand? Yeah right.

The crowning of Charlie is big, granted, but I'd definitely say the earthquake in Morocco and Dam-bursts in Libya are bigger.

I’m only carrying on the same title from the 1st and 2nd thread so it’s identifiable to people coming from there

Vikina · 16/09/2023 16:01

So the Times story had dropped. I cannot believe that anyone thinks Russell Brand is the biggest news story of the year.
And in the meantime the number of other names speculated about on here and on other social media.

Perhaps the man in question likes them sexy, in their sixties and dead?

Vikina · 16/09/2023 16:01

Has dropped i should have said. An investigation into Russell Brand.

I've not read anything on the other thread since I went out this morning, are we still broadly where we were?

Finlesswonder · 16/09/2023 16:02

Head of C4 news just tweeted:
"BREAKING: Russell Brand - In Plain Sight #C4dispatches will air at 2100 on Channel 4. We will hear testimony from 5 women who make allegations including rape, sexual assault and controlling and emotionally abusive behaviour - which he denies. Collab with @thetimes - watch at 9pm"

scrantonelectriccity · 16/09/2023 16:02

The Times have dropped it, it is accusations of rape and assault by Russel Brand

Maybe the rumours of injunction are right? Seemed unlikely to me - if it's even about Brand - but amazing how many big names have already come out to defend him.

EsmaCannonball · 16/09/2023 16:04

At least he'll be investigated while he's alive. Unlike the scenario with a few other celebrities.

milafawny · 16/09/2023 16:04

Is there anywhere to read it without paying for it.

From the headline alone its hardly the biggest story of the year
